Tiger Punch August 16, 2016 Recently, former NBA player Meta Waldpis commented on Instagram about a previous interview with him to clarify the facts.
The Score reprinted Waldpis' interview remarks, saying that he had rejected the recruitment of Cavaliers forward LeBron James and wanted to be his opponent, with the text: "Meta said no to LeBron. ”
Waldpis commented: "Here's clarification. My goal is to play against T-Mac (Tracy McGrady), LeBron, Bryant (Bryant) and others... But after I turned down the Cavaliers, I had no choice. The teams didn't trust me. So I had to go to the Lakers. I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to play against the greatest player @ James and against the greatest player Kobe Bryant. LeBron is great. Beating LeBron will say a lot. It's ultimate respect because my goal is to beat the best people. The ultimate challenge is the king. Attention. We love kings. ”
Subsequently, Waldpis recorded a selfie video again and posted to explain that after rejecting James' recruitment, he could not get a contract from the Rockets, Pacers, and Pistons, and he wanted to return to the Pacers or go to the Pistons, but all the teams did not trust him. At one point, he asked his agent to contact the Greek team to provide him with a chance to play, but after receiving a consultation call from the Lakers, he communicated with former Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Bath and decided to accept a basic salary contract to join the Lakers.
Waldpis-Caption said: "To pay tribute to one of my favorite players @ James. @The Score, very nice post. I just want to clarify a little. In retrospect, I was very competitive. I don't want to play with a certain player, which means that player is unbelievable. ”
